Out of place as a teacher? (5)

I believe the answer is:

amiss

'out of place' is the definition.

'a teacher?' is the wordplay.
'teacher?' becomes 'miss' (I've seen this in other clues).
'a'+'miss'='AMISS'

'as' is the link.

(Other definitions for amiss that I've seen before include "Unsuitable" , "Mistaken" , "Mistakenly" , "astray" , "(Gone) wrong" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
